I’ve finally finished the very long Potawatomi chain project that I was working on, and it turned out great! I often forget just how time consuming multi-strand projects can be when each strand is woven. To celebrate, I’ve started a quick double-chevron collar with some black SuperDuos and white Rizos. After that, who knows? I'll have to take a really good look through my stash for some inspiration.
Taking photos of my work today made me realize that my trusty bead tray is starting to look a bit worse for wear. It’s suffered quite a few cracks and chips over the years, mostly due to trying to lift it one-handed while it’s covered in beads. Hopefully it has a few more good years in it before I have to trade it in for something new.
What are you making right now?

The chain is beautiful, I like the clasp too!
ReplyDeleteI have one of those cheap flock beading trays under home made ensemble of foam, felt and a layer of lint free rolled and sewn at the edges. This way my beads stay on and I can pop the bits I need to hand inside the tray. It's also handy for poking needles in so I don't later tread on them. I wish my tray was as organised as yours though. Right now on my tray is a rope made from your netting tutorial, I am still trying to work out some tassels and a finish. Hopefully I will finish over the weekend if I get a few hours :)
Staying organized is definitely a challenge! The only reason my bead tray looks this good is that I let all my bead packs pile up on my desk. The advantage to that is that I have to bring all of my beads out at once to clean up, and some great combinations have been discovered that way!
